Individual Cupcake Boxes

I like to surprise friends with cupcakes...you never know where a cupcake will turn up!  I have always had trouble coming up with a clever way to package them until I found these cupcake boxes on Etsy. You purchase & download the template and make your own!

P.S.  They come in other colors besides pink...but pink is my signature color!

Recipe of the Week: Hi-Hat Cupcakes

I have been seeing Hi-Hat cupcakes on cupcake blogs...but what exactly are they?  A cupcake is frosted with a marshmallow meringue, piled high on top of the cupcake. Then the frosting is dipped and coated with chocolate.  If chocolate is wrong...I don't wanna be right!

Happy Birthday Elvis

The King of Rock & Roll would have been 76 years old today.  When I lived in Memphis, I went to Graceland many times...mostly for the candlelight vigil on the anniversary of his death.  On his birthday my friends and I usually toasted each other with jelly donuts, but cupcakes would be just as nice!

Cupcake Bento Box

My nieces love sushi and sometimes they order a bento box - which started me thinking "what exactly is a bento box?"  So I looked it up.  A bento box is a single-portion take-out or home-cooked meal in Japanese cuisine.  Bento means "convenience" and it is common for items to be arranged to look like people, characters or animals.  This is a cupcake blog...hence the cupcake bento box.

Orange Cupcakes...continued

Continuing in the orange theme from yesterday's recipe of the week, these cupcakes are gorgeous.  No special reason for these cupcakes...they are just beautiful.  I love the flowers!
